South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has secured a KRW985.7 billion (USD845.5 million) contract to build the second boat for the second batch of KSS-III (also known as Dosan Ahn Chang-ho)-class diesel-electric attack submarines (SSKs) for the Republic of Korea Navy (RoKN).

The Defence Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said in a 10 September statement that the contract award for the boat, which is expected to be capable of deploying submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), comes after DSME began building the first KSS-III ‘Batch II' SSK on 13 August: the same day the RoKN commissioned its first KSS-III ‘Batch I' submarine, Dosan An Chang-ho , at DSME's facilities on Geoje Island.

South Korea, which is currently also building the second and third ‘Batch I' submarines, is expected to build a total of nine KSS-III-class boats (three per batch).
